The commercial graduating class is really a new addition to the school. Two years ago was the first time a formal graduation for the commercial students was held. Now, graduation from the Commercial Department is an established school function, and each year the classes in this department are increasing in size and importance. The adviser, Mr. Bert Wilson, has established a very efficient employment service in connection with the department, and at present approximately seventy-five per cent of last year's graduates are employed. While it is not distinctly a class in the true sense of the word, since it is made up of Freshmen, Sophomores, and even Juniors, it is nevertheless treated a class, since it has graduation exercises and elects its own officers. The o i 3Pp elected for this year were Fred Hibler, President; Robert Lawrence, Vice-President; and Pauline Carr, Secretary-Treasurer.

Ahuttru Ethel Podrazzini President I ) With paper hats and rattles, the Alumni Association celebrated at a dinner dance held at the Big Four Inn during Teachers' Institute. 123 people, the largest group ever to attend an alumni banquet, were present. The group took enough time off from dancing to elect Ethel Pedrazzini, president; Ugo Giuntini, vice-president; Janet Stewart, secretary; and Hugh B. Stewart, treasurer. A Home-Coming Day banquet was held on April 22 at the College Commons with college students furnishing the entertainment. The alumni hope to make this an annual affair. One of the most outstanding events of the year was a tea given by the faculty wives for the women alumnae at the home of President and Mrs. Arthur S. Gist on March 19. The purpose of the tea was to bring together students and their children (if any) for the renewal of friendships. This year for the first time the alumni became an active association. An executive council met every six weeks to formulate plans for future work. This executive council was composed of the present officers, Ethel Pedrazzini, Ugo Giuntini, Janet Stewart, and Hugh Stewart, and all past presidents which were available, including Clyde Patenaude, James Spiering, Alta McWain Monroe, and George Ugo Giuntini Vice-President Monroe. Plans were laid to hold three banquets during the year, one each in the summer, spring, and fall. The alumni paper, The Alumnus, which kept all members in touch with alumni and student affairs, was published with Ugo Giuntini as editor and Ruth Carroll as assistant editor. This paper made its appearance three times during the year and contained news about various activities of the different alumni. A final project undertaken was to bring the file of all graduate alumni up-to-date. This service will be a great help to the college as well as to the alumni.
